Hi Tom,
that's great info. Thank you. I read some of your old posts after I posted my question. So when you started your ETF portfolio, did you allocate even percentage of money to each?

I have been struggling with the concept of having a bond portfolio while having cash reserve part of AIM for each ETF as well. I feel that I'll reduce my returns considerable. But at the same time, something like JNK bond fund with 5% return would be nice if AIM can help accumulate more if the rates go up and manage my overall average cost while providing income. Do you hold any bond funds with AIM?

Yes. I would be interested in seeing your selection of ETFs as I am making a transition from individual stocks to ETFs for easier management. I still have quite a few shares of MCD, PG, JNJ. I'll slowly transition to ETFs.

If I were to follow Ray Dalio's All Weather portfolio or something like that, I think it would make sense to allocate 20% of my capital to each ETF and then manage them by AIM by having equity and cash portions. What do you think? does that make sense? vs. Allocating my capital based on what Ray Dalio's allocation of 15% IEI, 40% TLT, 30% VTI, 7.5% GSG and 7.5% GLD.
